Named scholarships & funds
When it comes to earning a college degree, the greatest obstacle can be funding.
For this reason, The University of Akron is pleased for the opportunity each year to assist talented, deserving students achieve their dreams, thanks to more than 1,300 named scholarships established through the kindness and generosity of thousands of 黄色直播 alumni and friends, corporations, and foundations.
Scholarships truly are the best way to ensure that today’s students persist to graduation. Scholarships allow students to enroll full time and remain focused on their studies; they also reduce drop-out rates, decrease the stress of student loans, and shorten the road to graduation.
If you are interested in making a significant contribution to student success, please consider a gift to scholarships. You may also establish a named scholarship at The University of Akron, which can be created to honor a living person, in memory of a loved one, or to contribute to the growth of an area of study.
To learn more, please contact the Department of Development at 330-972-7238.

Akron-Canton Barristers Association Scholarship
The Akron-Canton Barristers Association Scholarship was established in 1983 and revised in 2020. The Akron-Canton Barristers Association is a legal organization comprised of primarily African-American attorneys and judges in Summit and Stark counties.
The group was originally formed in 1948 as the Akron Barrister's Club by 14 African-American male lawyers. These men had a mutual interest in and dedication to justice and civil rights for all.
The Akron-Canton Barristers Association is an affiliate chapter of the National Bar Association, the nation's oldest and largest national association of predominantly African-American lawyers, judges, educators and law students.
The Akron-Canton Barristers Association Scholarship will award scholarship assistance to a deserving University of Akron School of Law student with a diverse background. First consideration will be given to an African-American student pursuing a degree from the School of Law. Additional diversity factors that will be considered include: (1) urban area residency; (2) evidence of leadership ability; (3) quality of secondary school; (4) involvement in extracurricular activities; (5) achievement despite difficult personal or family situations; (6) completion of special projects or programs that offer evidence of significant effort, accomplishment and a special suitability to law school; and (7) community involvement.
Recipient selection will be made by the School of Law Scholarship Committee, members of The Akron-Canton Barristers Association or the Dean.
